Yellowstone is open 24 hours a day, though access can be restricted by inclement weather and to oversnow traffic during the winter months. Entrance stations are generally staffed during daylight hours. You will be asked to pay the park fee upon your departure if you didn't pay it when you arrived.

In addition to Joel's info on the entrance gates, you might find the following links, to the various services in the park, handy:


Visitor Centers:

Xanterra Parks & Resorts (Lodging and Dining Services, and my employer, for full disclosure):

http://www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/

Delaware North Company (Gift Shops, Groceries, Fast Food):

http://www.visityellowstonepark.com/Shop-In-Park.aspx

Yellowstone National Park Service Stations (Gas, Snacks, Auto Repair):

http://www.yellowstone-natl-park.com/gas.htm


In general, if you arrive at the park after 10pm or before 6am, nothing is going to be open, and services have limited hours in the late fall, winter and early spring.

According to our contacts at the National Park Service, this year's scheduled opening date for the North Rim is May 15. The North Rim almost always opens on the scheduled date, but be sure to check with the NPS as your trip date approaches. More information and phone numbers are available here.

You can also find more information about the parkway at the National Scenic Byways site and at the Arizona Scenic Roads website. Road info is also available from the state of Arizona and the NPS.

While portions of this scenic route remain open year-round, weather permitting, the entire Going-to-the-Sun Road is open for vehicle access from mid-June to mid-September. Before and after this core summer season, sections of the road will be closed.

You enter the park on Rte 281 which is paved and completely open.  There is a three (3) mile loop road once you enter the park that is great for riding/driving...  This is the first week the park hasn't had any snow in a long time, so should be nice.  For more information, you can call the park's main office at (828) 966-9099.  Happy riding!!

Lodging options in Yosemite National Park range from simple tent cabins to deluxe rooms at The Ahwahnee. Visit the DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite website for full descriptions, prices and online reservations. Reservations are available 366 days in advance and are strongly recommended, especially for the busy summer months! You may also make reservations by phone by calling (801) 559-4884.

If you aren't able to get a reservation in advance, try calling the week before your arrival, when rooms sometimes open up.

Yosemite.com provides information about lodging on private land within Yosemite and in communities surrounding Yosemite.

I'd actually reccomend flying into either Fresno or Mammoth (eastern side of Yosemite) and driving from there.  Las Vegas is quite a ways from Yosemite.
